Hello,
I'm new to ConTeXt and this list. After a long time of using LaTeX and
xeLaTeX I was finally lured into trying ConTexT by its ability of grid
typesetting.
Today's problem is a bit complex. In a book project I have several
points where stuff is capitalized or turned into caps+smallcaps or pure
smallcaps. My guess is that that should work either with \WORD{Stuff},
\Cap{Stuff} and \cap{Stuff} or with \uppercase, \sc, and
{\sc\lowercase{Stuff}}. (Not quite, it seems)
I'll use a commercial font called Calluna, but have added Linux Biolinum
O to the example for those who don't want to download Calluna (the
"Regular" can be "bought" for free, e.g. at
https://www.fontspring.com/fonts/exljbris/calluna).
Both Calluna and Biolinum contain the glyph "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP
S" at "1E9E. Calluna also has a small caps version at "F727", while
Biolinum has it at "E092. I'd like to use these glyphs in the
capitalizations mentioned, but that only works erratically (cf. example).
Secondly, Calluna comes with oldstyle numerals switched on, which is
nice for normal text, but should change to proportional lining numbers
in uppercase and to small-cap proportional lining numbers in an
all-small-cap text. I'm not sure what I'd want in a caps+smallcaps
context, but certainly not oldstyle numerals with their descenders.
Any hints and ideas? Thanks for reading! -- Thomas
PS: I asked the same question on stackexchange, there's also an image of

Use separate threads for each problem. The uppercase sharp s replacement
with \WORD can be changed in the next beta.
%% begin example
\usemodule[lingual-de]
\setupbodyfont[libertine]
\starttext
Gruß Straße Buße
\WORD{Gruß Straße Buße}
\enabledirectives[fonts.uppercasesharps]
\WORD{Gruß Straße Buße}
\disabledirectives[fonts.uppercasesharps]
\WORD{Gruß Straße Buße}
\stoptext
%% end example

are you saying, use this example as long as the new beta isn't out yet,
or are you saying, this example will work as soon as I'll use the new
beta? It doesn't seem to do anything right now, not even an error message.
I was looking for a general way how to substitute one glyph with another
depending on context, thus I can't see how there are different problems
in my post? But it's good to hear that others have thought at least of a
partial solution.
Is my guess right that normally the author of a font ought to provide
otf features that can be switched on and off to get one result instead
of the other? That area seems to be utter chaos in the Calluna fonts.

It’s a new feature which will work with the next beta.
With \enabledirectives[fonts.uppercasesharps] you tell context to
convert ß to ẞ (instead of SS) when you use \WORD to capitalize a string.

The output of \sc to produce small capitals depends on the font and it’s
the font designers job to provide a small ẞ (he could use stilistic sets
to let you choose between ß and ẞ).

Well, there's the problem, I think. Jos Buivenga, aka exljbris,
Calluna's font designer, has done a superb job on the graphics (in my
eyes), but his stylistic sets or otf features seem to be full of holes,
as far as I understand them, which is perhaps not very far.
What I'm looking for is a way on the TeX, LuaTeX or ConTeXt level to
define "environments" ('scuse my LaTeX slang) within which certain glyph
substitutions happen. Then I could kind of redefine a thing like \sc to
use the smallcaps ß and switch to smallcaps lining figures, if
available, or, otherwise, scaled-down uppercase lining figures. I have
still other fish to fry in this context, but a general hint where to
look for something like this would be helpful.
Thanks a lot so far -- Thomas

Is there a way to tell ConTeXt to use one glyph where it would on its
own use another one? Two examples:
- In the font "Purisa Medium" the hyphen comes out as a line that is two
or three times fatter and even a little longer than the m-dash. That is
clearly wrong, and probably the font designer's fault. Other than that,
the font has its merits as a not-too-sweet or crazy handwriting font.
I'll need to tell ConTeXt to either scale that monster-hyphen down or to
use a different glyph altogether, maybe even from another font.
- As mentioned in an earlier post, in an \sc group I need the lowercase
ß to be replaced with its smallcaps version, which is contained in the
font but not accessible via any of its otf features.
There are more occasions where I have missed such a feature.
Thank you - Thomas

For both searches the test suite answers "No matches found".

I'd do that, if I knew what that is and where I can find it.
Googling these brought up some interesting stuff though, which I am
trying to read and understand.

Possibly the test suite you mean is not the same as the one that's
described on this page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Test_suite ???
That's where I "searched".

But there isn't. After seraching the whole file system, these are all
the files with remotely similar names:
----------------------
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base$ ls s-l*.mkiv
s-languages-counters.mkiv
s-languages-frequencies.mkiv
s-languages-hyphenation.mkiv
s-languages-sorting.mkiv
s-languages-system.mkiv
s-languages-words.mkiv
---------------------
I have the debian/ubuntu texlive distro that comes with ubuntu 15.10.
ConTeXt says:
---------------------ConTeXt ver: 2015.05.18 12:26 MKIV current fmt:
2016.3.18 int: english/english

Hans, Wolfgang, are you serious? That's just lots of uncommented code
snippets, many of them don't do nothing or crash in compilation! I
believe I mentioned before that I am very new to ConTeXt.
Isn't there any documentation of any of this? Like: "How to make my own
otf feature at home" -- the script "extensions-001.tex" seems to try
something like that, but it shows no effect on my machine. Or a bit of
text that explains the properties and functionalities of
\definefontfallback in whole sentences? Pointers like that would be very
welcome.

indeed they are lots of small examples (taken from the list or
experiments) but they show what can be done
if they crash (no sure what you mean there) it's most likely due to
fonts you don't have on your machine

a lot has been published in articles in user group journals or for
meetings, there is a font manual that you can buy for nominal costs,
there are some manuals on the website and an extended version of the
more technical one that hardly anyone needs will end up in the
distribution some day soon, there are examples on stack exchange, in the
mail archive an don the wiki ... a lot of this depends on voluntary work
so you can hardly complain about it .. anyone is free to provide more
documentation and share experiences
Hans
btw, if you want to roll out your own features as in extensions-001 then
you also need to know what the font provides (or lacks) .. open type
fonts can be pretty complex and there is no consistency in how certain
features are implemented

Yes, many of the blank pages or obscure (to me) error messages seem to
be font-related. I'll have to see to that.

Yes, I know, I'm sorry I let my exasperation run free. When I started
out with LaTeX /and/ typesetting more than two decades ago, I had one
basic book on LaTeX. Over the years my knowledge of LaTeX, typography,
layout design and typesetting grew side by side, if somewhat organically
and unsystematic. Nowadays there's about a metre and a half of bookshelf
occupied by books on LaTeX, TeX and Typography.
As I make books myself, I'm obviously not averse to buying them. I guess
the ConTeXt books on fonts and layout will do me good.

Yes, I learned that already. Will these home-made features only work on
open type fonts?

yes, because type 1 has no such feature processing (i suppose i can make
them into fake opentypes ... shouldn't be to hard ... it depends a bit
on how long we keep using type 1)

Below is a minimal not-working example extracted from
"extensions-001.tex" in the fonts section of the test suite. From what I
understand of the code, the second line should read "XPrXcXdXPrX"
instead of "abracadabra". But it doesn't, it is still "abracadabra".
Compiling the original extensions-001 gives me seven lines of
"abracadabra". What am I doing wrong? I'm running ConTeXt version
2015.05.18 12:26 MKIV current fmt: 2016.4.28 from the debian/ubuntu
texlive packets.

You need a newer context version.

OK, that helps. Everything is fine from the command line. I seem to be
overlooking something as to the setup of TeXworks, though. I copied the
programme calls from the _tools.ini_ that came with the ConTeXt
standalone version into the present _tools.ini_ that lives in my
personal TeXworks config folder. Now TW starts _mtxrun_ allright, but
the run crashes with
mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

OK, thank you, that helped. Everything is fine from the command line.
I seem to be overlooking something as to the setup of TeXworks, though.
I copied the programme calls from the _tools.ini_ that came with the
ConTeXt standalone version into the present _tools.ini_ that lives in my
personal TeXworks config folder. I also added _/usr/local/context/bin_
to the "paths for TeX and friends" in the TW preferences window.
Now TW starts the correct _mtxrun_, but the run crashes with, after a
lot of file searching:
mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

Try to run (the correct) "mtxrun --generate" either from the command
line (or from TW just before you start ConTeXt if the command line
doesn't help).

That wasn't it. Below is the logfile. The command issued by TeXworks
should be
mtxrun --autogenerate --script context my_extensions001.tex
A file "texmfcnf.lua" is found at three places:
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/texmfcnf.lua (last modified:
25/03/2016)
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua (last modified: 25/03/2016)
/usr/local/context/tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua (last modified:
28.11.2012)
The last one is the one I installed this morning.

Can you check the paths in the fourth tab (= Typesetting) of
Preferences/Settings?
It is possible that you have more than one version of ConTeXt
installed and that you see different paths in the Terminal than in the
GUI.

I've searched through the mailing list, what the initial post to this
topic was, but i couldn't find it. If you're having trouble to make
context compile a document, try this:
- TeXworks tools.ini doesn't need to be edited manually. It's the file
where TW saves the settings from " Edit -> Preferences -> Typesetting ".
- First of all make sure, that you downloaded ConTeXt by using
"first-setup.exe"
- Then, you should add the folder where context.exe (and all
executables) are stored to your system paths: Use your browser to
navigate to the said folder, click on the address bar and copy the full
path. For me it looks like this: " F:\Sandbox\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-win64\bin "
- Then add this path to your windows system paths: go to your windows
control panel, double click " System "-> advanced settings ->
environment variables (or something like this), in the lower halfth
there is a window with a point " Path ". Double click it and paste your
CTX folder pretty much at the top of the section or if there is only one
line, add it at the beginning, and use semikolon ( ; ) to seperate it
from the rest. Save your settings and you should be good to go.
- to test if you did it correctly open your command line and simply
enter " context.exe --version ". If command line tells you, that no
context.exe was found, then you might try to add the context \bin folder
to your system paths again
- if command line tells you the version of context, then you can proceed:
- start TW, " Edit -> Preferences -> Typesetting ". There check the
upper halfth for the context folder you added to your system paths. If
you've added it at the beginning, it should be at the top here as well.
Alternatively use the arrows to push context\bin it to the very top
NOTE: this is important. if you have MikTeX installed for example and if
its folder is listed above your context folder, TW will try to use exe
files from the MikTeX folder. so make sure that context\bin is above
anything related to tex, context or lua.
- then in the lower halfth create a new processing tool by clikcking on
the plus:
- call it CTX mkiv or something
- in the program field either search for your context.exe, or if added
to the system paths correctly, simply enter context.exe in the Program field
- for arguments add: $fullname (this parses the
filename to context compiler)
- if you want to use the sync code <-> pdf feature, also add another
argument: --synctex=-1
that's it. there is the option to make this the default profile at the
bottom of the Typesetting window.
Now you can test it: paste
\starttext
Hello World!
\stoptext
into a new file and save it somewhere. then use your freshly set up
processing tool. after compilation the pdf viewer should pop up.
I hope that helps, Seba

Yes I have two versions of ConTeXt. I have TeXlive from the Ubuntu
repository and now the newer version as standalone. I added the paths to
the new version at the top of that list in TeXwoks' preferences. And it
does find and run the new version of mtxrun.

To prevent misunderstandings: This is /not/ the solution, the problem
remains that the newly installed standalone mtxrun doesn't find certain
configuration files and complains about an outdated something or other,
/when started from within TeXworks/, while everything works fine from
the command line.

Now I uninstalled the texlive version of ConTeXt and did a total new
install of the standalone version. That did not help at all. There's
something wrong happening within the mtxrun.
I added a new "compiler" to TeXworks that only executes the command
printenv and it lists the following environment settings:
TEXROOT=/usr/local/context/tex
PATH=/usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64:/usr/local/context/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64/bin
OSFONTDIR=/usr/local/share/fonts;/usr/share/fonts;/home/thomas/.local/share/fonts
They look pretty correct to me. But still mtxrun complains:
----------------------------------------------
... resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found
resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF)
resolvers | resolving |
mtxrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated
...
resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found
resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF)
...
mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

For the time being, I think I'm giving up on pairing ConTeXt standalone
and TeXworks on my Xubuntu machine and try to try out SciTE.
In the manual it says that
If you want to use ConTEXt, you need to copy the relevant files from
<texroot>/tex/texmf-context/context/data/scite
to the path were SciTE keeps its property files (*.properties)
Is that the only way? SciTE seems to keep its user-specific properties
files in my home directory! I don't want to clutter that up with 16
unhidden files and two directories. At least SciTE's original files are
hidden ones.
A much more polite way would be if SciTE used a hidden directory named
"~/.scite", or, better still, "~/.config/scite", to keep its config
stuff in. Can I reconfigure it to use some place like that?

Thanks for your detailed description, but I'm afraid that's not it.
Meanwhile I uninstalled all my texlive packets and reinstalled TeXworks
without any of the texlive components, and reinstalled ConTeXt
standalone strictly according to this:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Ubuntu#With_ConTeXt_Standalone_.E2.80.93_should_work_with_all_Ubuntu_versions
-- and the problem persists. mtxrun is found and started allright, but
it complains that it can't find some files, that a database is outdated,
and that it can't find some other files and stops without a pdf. Below
is the complete console output as shown in TeXworks. Calling "context
test" in a terminal window works fine, though.
Cheers -- Thomas

Meanwhile I uninstalled all my texlive packets and reinstalled TeXworks without any of the texlive components, and reinstalled ConTeXt standalone strictly according to this: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Ubuntu#With_ConTeXt_Standalone_.E2.80.93_should_work_with_all_Ubuntu_versions -- and the problem persists. mtxrun is found and started allright, but it complains that it can't find some files, that a database is outdated, and that it can't find some other files and stops without a pdf. Below is the complete console output as shown in TeXworks. Calling "context test" in a terminal window works fine, though.
Cheers -- Thomas

I tried that, no success (not very different from what I did before
either). Are there other tests that I could do? Can't anybody interpret
the messages, error and otherwise?

Whew, I've got it running, finally.
For some reason, TeXworks needs to tell mtxrun explicitly where its
texmf-tree is located. Meaning, an additional argument is required in
TeXworks's starter setup, which now looks like this:
name: ConTeXt MkIV
command: mtxrun
arguments:
--tree=/usr/local/context/tex <-- this is the one!
--autogenerate
--script
context
$fullname
In the "Paths to TeX and friends" list I have
/usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64
/usr/local/context/bin
as the top two entries.
I don't know what exactly is going on here, so I don't feel confident to
add this to the wiki, but maybe someone else does and will.
Thanks for listening -- Thomas

Using --tree is quite ok for this. Maybe TeXworks sets some environment
variable that interferes otherwise. Normally using the full path should
also work, so
/usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64/mtxrun
don't add /usr/local/context/bin to the path as it's only used when updating

To: mailing list for ConTeXt users
And don't forget to do this before coding :
1) cd /home/[...]/context/tex/. setuptex
This command answers this : "Setting "/home/JohnDoe/context/tex" as ConTeXt root."
2) Then : cd .../context/tex/texmf-win64 (or linux64) with a x64 computer
3) Then type :
context --generate
and type : context --make
4) Finally, if you add fonts (in /usr/share/fonts, or $HOME/.fonts), don't forget to reload the font database (in the same depositery as 3)); the command is as follow :
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
In order to see which fonts are installed on your system:
mtxrun --script fonts --list --all
To search a font (like didot) :
mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=*didot* --all
All these commands are the same on windows/linux/OS X

Objet: Re: [NTG-context] Setting up TeXworks
Whew, I've got it running, finally.
For some reason, TeXworks needs to tell mtxrun explicitly where its
texmf-tree is located. Meaning, an additional argument is required in
TeXworks's starter setup, which now looks like this:
name: ConTeXt MkIV
command: mtxrun
arguments:
--tree=/usr/local/context/tex <-- this is the one!
--autogenerate
--script
context
$fullname
In the "Paths to TeX and friends" list I have
/usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64
/usr/local/context/bin
as the top two entries.
I don't know what exactly is going on here, so I don't feel confident to
add this to the wiki, but maybe someone else does and will.
Thanks for listening -- Thomas

Well, it isn't normal, apparently. I remember I tried that at some
stage, but it didn't work. The problem was not finding mtxrun and
starting it, but rather that mtxrun, once started, couldn't find some of
its config files.
Cheers -- Thomas

Thanks Jean-Pierre, and no, you're not carrying owls to Athens, in
whatever language. ;) I'm very new to ConTeXt and not all that
experienced in the Linux world either. My French is honed on cooking
recipes rather than computing and coding, but I was able to follow your
page allright.
1. I don't have my standalone ConTeXt tree anywhere under /home/... but
in /usr/local/context/..., as suggested on the wiki. Would that make a
difference?
2. What do "--generate" and "--make" do? I remember having run them at
one occasion or other, but to no avail as to the TeXworks problem.
Shouldn't they be run by the installation script anyway?
I had managed the fonts database stuff, thanks to the wiki and some
trial and error. It was time I learned about environment variables in
Linux and Xfce anyway.
Cheers -- Thomas

Hi Thomas,
1. There is no great issue to install ConTeXt Standalone in /usr/local/context; it's only a simple advice that I gave to put context in such a directory as /home/Document (e.g. : on Linux Ubuntu) in order to make things clear for beginners; and you can install it in /opt/context if you want it. I have installed CTX in /home/MyComputer/context
, because the whole documentation and files I want to use are near. Under Windows, ConTeXt is installed in C:\users\MyComputer\Documents\context.
As you know, ConTeXt Standalone is a bundle which is self-sufficient (it doesn't need any extra-package, except some more fonts). I don't have tried yet to work with ConTeXt and Perl/Python, because my goal is to understand ConTeXt step by step in order to write a documentation in French (and I am starting from the beginning), starting by the easiest way to code a document and ending by some project structures.
2. commands like 'context --generate' and 'context --make' , typed after this previous one: '. setuptex', allow to build all the trees that you need thereafter, including databases. After that, you have to set your environment variables (in PATH). If you don't do that, you'll see your Linux system complain with such enigmatic formulas as 'ConTeXt is not installed', or 'mtxrun is not installed. You can installed it with apt-get install mtxrun', etc.
